"Style Has Absolutely Nothing to do with Money"

I just got off the phone with 81-year-old Jacquie Tajah Murdock. She wanted to catch up and see what has been happening with Advanced Style. I told her that she has inspired many women to dress up and feel good about themselves. Jacquie was delighted to hear this.She wanted to share some more of her style philosophy and told me that,"Style has absolutely nothing to do with money. In fact, I buy many of my things at thrifts shops. For me style is about looking different from anybody else. Fashion is an art."

Sorry to disagree ... I think she looks lovely and vibrant but I do not like her clothes. They do nothing for her. In fact, the clothes only look okeish becaue of her. I am sure that in another outfit she would be even more stunning.

Possibly !!!YET: that's just another puzzle piece which makes up this lady!If this makes her as or even more happy then so called better outfits - so be it and she will still be faaaar ahead of quite some people still searching for their happiness -despite their at times more 'expensive'/valuable looks. ;-)

Nice sentiment, but it's completely elitist and out of touch with reality. Is it simply coincidence that the women featured on this site live in some of the priciest zip codes in the country, and spend more on their accessories than most do on their mortgages? Nope, don't think so.

Try finding candidates for posts in, say, Detroit, or south Philly, or the Bronx, and then get back to me.

Love, love, love Jacquie and her clothes! She always looks so slim and graceful. You can tell she was a dancer. I think she has a great middle name, too! Would love to see a lot more of her on your site.

i guess people look best when they wear their personalities...And yes, money certainly has nothing to do with it...It's about how artistic one's taste is and how much one is ready to experiment with clothes and accessories!

It's great to see such amazing youthful zeal in the elderly! Looks like I in my 20s will have to take some serious fashion tips from them.. ;P
